Hi there all, I am an engineering student and I have been given a project of designing a Stone Splitter capable of splitting a Stone/Rock 30" High by 36"Long. The cutting force at the Teeth/Blades will be 500Tonnes Max
Cycle frequency will be approx 10mins per rock.
Primarily my machine will be of Hydraulic Operation e.g. With a Diesel Power Pack to run the hydraulic pump.
One of the hardest stumbling blocks I need to overcome in this project is how will I conform to the shape of the rock? See:
Thank you all,
Shay Derry, Ireland.
